Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony: Date, Time and Venue Details:

The ceremony will be held mostly the way it was conducted in 2014. The swearing-in ceremony will be hosted at the forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan - the stately path between the main gates and the main building, which is used for the ceremonial reception of visiting heads of state and heads of government.

However, this would be the fourth time a prime minister would take oath at the forecourt instead of the Durbar Hall.

Rashtrapati Bhavan will serve a light dinner for the visiting dignitaries besides high tea after the 7 pm ceremony. Along with the tea, for the vegetarian, they will also serve samosas to Rajbhog and lemon tarts, according to a report by Economic Times.

The major highlight of the dinner, however, will be the signature 'Dal Raisina' that is already being cooked. This speciality of Rashtrapati Bhavan takes 48 hours to cook and the process started on Tuesday night.
